About Kristen
I am an experienced, certified educator who provides thoughtful, evidence-based tutoring tailored to each learner’s needs. My instruction is grounded in proven teaching practices, including the Science of Reading, and focuses on building strong understanding, confidence, and independent learning skills. I bring patience, clarity, and care to every session. Lessons are intentionally planned, goal-oriented, and responsive to student progress, while still feeling supportive and encouraging. I work hard to create a calm, respectful learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Families and students can expect reliable, high-quality instruction, clear communication, and a tutor who is genuinely invested in their growth and success.

Teaching Method & Techniques
I use clear, evidence-based instruction with an emphasis on understanding, not memorization. My approach is rooted in the Science of Reading and focuses on explicit teaching, guided practice, and gradual release. I adapt strategies to each learner’s needs while creating a supportive, low-pressure environment.
Typical Lesson Plan
Lessons begin with a brief check-in and review, followed by direct instruction and modeling. We practice together before moving into independent work with real-time feedback. Each session ends with reflection and a clear next step.
What Sets Me Apart
I combine classroom experience with highly personalized tutoring. I’m patient, responsive, and focused on helping students build confidence and independence—not just finish assignments.
Who Lessons Are For
I work with elementary and middle-grade students, as well as older learners who need foundational support in reading, writing, and comprehension.
